Chinese Cloud Storage - Get your Data back now.
« on: 17 July 2016, 20:21:40 »

Just a quick note, if anyone has Data or important Files on any Chinese Cloud Providers I would suggest you Download and recover your Files now before they get deleted.

A lot of CN Cloud providers are being forced to shut down or change the way they are offering their Services outside of China by the Chinese Government this year, some are already in the process of being closed, given notice of Closure (normally in Chinese) or will just cease to operate over the next few months.

I would simply not entrust anything of any real importance to any cloud storage, Chinese, American or Martian. Anything of real importance to me is duplicated or even triplicated on external high capacity drives.

Cloud Storage has it uses, I use mine (various places) pretty much a few times a week, but Im set up as such that if it all went bang tomorrow, I could pretty much get my Data back to how it was yesterday, or absolute worse case, last weeks back up,  :y

Problem is, too many people are using Cloud as there Main Storage of Important stuff, rather than a complimentary way of working with Data on a day to day basis.

Nope. One copy on external drive in burnt house another on flashdrive on keyring. If they all go then I'm dead and it really doesn't matter  ;D
